The rest of the outages, which have left 35,000 customers in the dark, are the result of damaged electrical equipment that continues to prevent restoration in a number of homes, Con Ed said.

All Staten Islanders who could accept electricity — and did not have storm-damaged equipment — have been restored, officials said.

For those who still don't have power, Con Edison has set up "command posts" in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island for customers whose electrical equipment was damaged by flooding, to provide ongoing teams to evaluate if restoration is yet ready.

Of the repairable customers, in Manhattan, just 47 customers remained without electricity. In Brooklyn, 4,200 were without electric Saturday while Queens had 6,000 customers in the dark. The Bronx had only 890 without service.

In areas hit hardest by flooding, Con Edison staffers are making door-to-door assessments to see whether equipment was damaged.

Those who have suffered water damage must contact a private licensed electrician or plumber to confirm that their machinery can be safely electrified, Con Ed said.

Con Edison has also set up "command posts" in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island for customers whose electrical equipment was damaged by flooding.
